Does the news depress you?
Do you feel no one cares about the problems of the world?
Its easy to feel down, depressed and alone in this world but if you are sick of seeing nothing change then we have the cure for your ailments
Prosoc is a revolutionary cure to this country’s political ailments.
Cynicism and Apathy are diseases that affect thousands upon thousands of New Zealand citizens. It takes root during the early stages of our lives and if it is not cured before a human settles down it can become a permanent state of mind.
Symptoms of CnA are as follows
Believing that humans are inherently evil
Believing that the world is going to shit and there is nothing we can do about it
Believing humans are too stupid to change
Believing the environment is fucked and we’ll never be able to make a difference.
There are many and more symptoms of CnA all of which are just as detrimental to the type of world you want.
The way Prosoc works is by a novel reinfusion of an ancient compound called OnA, Which stands for Optimism and Action. The effects of this new compound are widely cited as the cause for many important social changes in the world.
The way this compound works under Prosoc is to provide a group where OnA can thrive.
Prosoc stands for The Protest Society. Essentially what Prosoc aims to achieve is to become a student society where anyone can come and propose a problem, crisis, law or ideal that needs to be protested for or against. It will serve as a group where students can come to find other people that are just as pissed off about the problems of world as they are. The students can then plan direct protest action to see their voices heard.
Finding other people who share your views provides a fertile ground for OnA to take seed and sprout. We at Prosoc aim to plant the seeds of OnA far and wide so we can truly quell the CnA epidemic that we are currently facing
CnA is so prevalent today that even though 71% of our country believes that the government is working for corporate interests not the interests of the people, there are no major protest efforts.
CnA is cultivated in the news media and the distraction efforts of the vast entertainment circus that surrounds us constantly.
We are made to feel small and powerless so we never stand up for change for fear of standing alone.
We are made to expect nothing of politicians so that it doesn’t surprise or infuriate us to action when it turns out that they lie, cheat and work against our interests.
We are told we shouldn’t whine about our condition as if standing up for yourself is a bad thing.
Cynicism is an excuse not to act.
It is easier to tell a person it isn’t possible than to try and make it possible.
It is easier to tell yourself the world wont change than to terraform the political landscape in your image.
In short Cynicism is the first stop for a coward too spineless to hold themself upright.
Apathy is a defense for the weak.
It is easier to never try to change anything because if you never try you can never fail.
It is easier say “you don’t care” because if you did care you might have to do something.
It is easier to hide beneath your blankets and tell the world outside that you don’t care about the world outside but don’t expect us to think of you as anything other than a child.
CnA is sometimes a conscious decision but it is often times just a state of mind that has been enforced by outside sources for so long that it has begun to be taken for granted.
OnA is mostly a conscious decision and often times a harder one. Though when your optimism and your action creates something that all can be proud of, there can be no better feeling.
“Politics is not a spectator sport” is our motto and that is particularly true in this current day and age where politicians are too corrupt or too afraid to take meaningful action against the problems our world faces today.
The voting system is not enough to ensure our representatives actually represent our actions. If we intend to get anything done we need to be working towards it ourselves instead of expecting others to do the work for us. If you want a slice of the cake you better have had a hand in baking it.
So. If I were to throw the ball in your court, if I were to ask you whether you wanted to act with us, Would you choose CnA or would you choose OnA?
Only one can secure a better life for you and your (future) children.
We all know which one it is.

PM me if you want to help with setting up Prosoc and getting this going. I want to get this started but I need help from others people. I have a few people already onboard but the faster this grows the faster we will see change.
Optimism and Action!

ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. I'll make sure I stop by NZ to spread a little O and hopefully get a little A.
